Match Stats

Nottingham Forest:

Nottingham Forest's remarkable rise continues, and they will look to build on their solid 1-1 draw with Liverpool when they host struggling Southampton on Sunday. Despite being pegged back by a late goal from Diogo Jota, the Tricky Trees have been in sensational form, accumulating 19 points from their last 24 available. Chris Wood remains a key figure, having netted his 13th Premier League goal of the season. Forest's relentless attacking style has seen them score the first goal in 17 of their 20 league games, making them one of the most dangerous early-scoring teams in the competition. They will be favorites against Southampton, a team they have beaten in their last three encounters, and they remain firmly in the hunt for European qualification.


Southampton:

Southampton remain entrenched at the bottom of the Premier League table, with their 3-1 loss to Manchester United extending their winless run on the road this season. Despite a spirited first-half showing at Old Trafford, the Saints were undone by Amad Diallo's second-half hat-trick, leaving them still searching for their second win of the season. With 10 points separating them from safety, the Saints' task of avoiding relegation is becoming increasingly difficult, especially with their poor away form. Southampton's historical struggles against Nottingham Forest, including three consecutive defeats, will weigh heavily as they look to turn around their fortunes and find their first away win in over a year.
